- tokai 3y agoBesides the very northern parts it hasn't been cold. Spring flowers bloomed last week in Denmark.
- johnofthesea 3y agoIt was pretty cold in Oslo and that is not very northern.

- hef19898 3y agoWeather =|= climate. Or one cold day doesn't make winter. Nor does one hot day make summer.
- InCityDreams 3y ago>Nor does one hot day make summer. You're not from the UK.
- hef19898 3y agoDepends on your definition of summer: if you apply your expectations from an August holiday in southern France to August in the UK, that is your fault!

- baq 3y agoE.g. In Poland this has been the warmest February on record.
- jeltz 3y agoThat applies in both directions and that was a response to someone saying it was warm in Copenhagen. I definitely do not doubt climate change but a warn winter in Copenhagen or a cold one in Oslo/Stockholm isn't climate, that is weather.
- tokai 3y agoIts 6 degrees in Oslo right now - in February.
- johnofthesea 3y agoI was posting it because there was -20 during winter. But now I checked [0] and it seems that anomalies are even further north. [0] https://pulse.climate.copernicus.eu https://pulse.climate.copernicus.eu
- Moldoteck 3y agodidn't oslo always been warm bc of ocean currents?

- jeltz 3y agoStockholm was cold this winter and I would not say we are very northern.
- Y-bar 3y agoIt might have felt colder than usual since there were a few really cold days and the years prior were very warm, but... December 2023 in Stockholm was pretty much _average_ https://www.smhi.se/polopoly_fs/1.203578.1706190685!/image/tempAnomSweGlob2312.png_gen/derivatives/Original_1256px/image/tempAnomSweGlob2312.png https://www.smhi.se/polopoly_fs/1.203578.1706190685!/image/t... And January a bit below average: https://www.smhi.se/polopoly_fs/1.204720.1708930291!/image/tempAnomSweGlob2401.png_gen/derivatives/Original_1256px/image/tempAnomSweGlob2401.png https://www.smhi.se/polopoly_fs/1.204720.1708930291!/image/t... February is on track on being above average with a record early spring.
- fy20 3y agoHere in Lithuania we had one day below -20c this winter. Usually we have at least one or two weeks like that. Now the snow has melted and it's spring, feels around 6 weeks too early.
- Y-bar 3y agoWe had a handful of extreme cold days, but they were compressed in-between a late arrival of the winter and a too warm and early spring.
